Wilson AVP OPTX Replica Volleyball - Yellow/Black, Official Size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this ball with the intention of buying the best one to train most effectively and get better at beach volleyball. This ball is the key! Playing like the pros gives me the motivation and mindset to play my best. This ball is worth the money - such good quality. Super happy with this ball.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 2 weeks of daily on-grass use it's showing some wear to the foam, but for the price this is to be expected. The grip isn't quite up to the game ball level but this is also reasonable for the price, it sticks well enough and I've had fun with them. I'd recommend if you're looking for some practice balls on a budget.

I purchased the custom ball in order to personalize it for a lost friend. We always use The Offical AVP ball and I'm not disappointed there. However, the lazer engraving is very dull to the point where you can't see it unless you know it's there. Great ball but not great engraving.

I have only had this ball for a month and take great care of it but the "microfiber composite leather cover" is already peeling off. The ball has a plastic feel to it as well. I definitely prefer the previous design.

purchased directly from walmart.com (not 3P) the avp optx vball. package arrived and see it is the replica ball in the official box. returning to store atm so just beware if you order it, even from walmart, its actually the right one and not the "replica".

I use the official game balls for the beach and they are fine. I bought the replica for the pool because I think it's water resistant, but it's a smaller ball. It looks like the graphics are stickers; there are air bubbles where they were not applied properly.

The design was peeling off when delivered. I’ve used the ball twice since October

BEWARE: These balls are knockoffs from this seller. knock·off /ˈnäkäf/ nouninformal plural noun: knockoffs a copy or imitation, especially of an expensive or designer product. "knockoff merchandise" Material felt like plastic. I know there are slight differences in the balls over the years, but this was not an AVP ball. Printed graphics did not look right, as the color and sharpness of edges was poor quality. After inflating it was significantly smaller in diameter, and it felt hard when passing the ball. Again new balls sometimes have less feel, but these felt unbelievably bad similar to playing outside in near freezing weather (you know that feeling when you try to play with the kids 10 year old soccer ball), and today it was 75 deg. I'm not commenting on how many balls I have played with over the years...

Shipped to the wrong address.

Pumped it up to get ready for outdoor volleyball season and it has a leak in it and won't hold air. Waste of money.
